Well to my surprize I moved into the second phase which is waiting for my 2nd ultrasound, I'm moving along a lot better this time around, I was at 7.1 vs 5 from my previous chart. Hopefully this time I get to my phase 3 which is the transfer. If all goes well i get my black circles on my hips for the poi shots.
Only time will tell but I will continue my raspberry tea leaf and 5 estrace pills.
I honestly believe that the raspberry tea leaf really is working for me to tone my uterus.
On another note, I got a job offer and another interview, hopefully all goes well to so I can continue to have health insurance after Nov 30th.
Next update is Nov 14th..

IVF cycle #6
So many disappointments, can't ever seem to get to actually doing the transfer.
I'm on my next cycle, and it's been unbelievably defeating.
This time around im taking 4 estrace pills, hopefully my body isn't triggering ovulation this time.
I've made sure I'm taking my metformin twice a day.
I've been drinking red raspberry tea leaf since day 2, just about every day, trying to do twice a day but I keep forgetting, and I need to try to fit pomegrante juice in atleast once a day. All 6oz or so.
I have until day 13, I'm on day 8.
On day 15 I'll be eating or drinking pineapple core and the meat for 5 days. That's if they don't cancel on me again.
It's been a time crunch since I was laid off, my official last day is Nov 22 and I'm on a job hunt to start for the beginning of Dec. I've had 1 interview and another tomorrow.
Hopefully all goes well, if not than I need to go on cobra to make sure I keep insurance available incase everything does go through.
*deep breathe*
Btw the last cycle that was cancelled last month, I had almost the same as the first FET cycle, 3 cyst in ovaries and lining was 6.9cm or 7 cm
Fluid was in the cavity with but due to the cyst, my body was tempting to ovulate so everything had to be cancelled.
Hoping this lining ends up thicker. And no cyst. :/

Psychic readings (California psychic) predictions
Reading from Psychic Walter
4/7/2014
The wait just to speak with him was so worth it! I waited about 3 hours or so?..
He was the type of psychic I like! Totally real!
3 men with grandma that she's not alone.
June, second or third week, husband will get a promotion, hug him! Tell him congratulations.
Grandma says he does love me, don't doubt it
Year and half or year and 3 quarters girl born, birth given from me, my own, followed by another girl, two kids for sure, twins?
Guides asked why am I doubting this?
I said I've had nothing but road blocks for almost 4 yrs now.
I told him I'm seeing the doctor today in 7 hours.
This Thursday around 2pm an occasion: tues,wed,thurs.., validity lunch? To come for lunch? Something happening. I asked maybe surgery? He said he wasn't sure but the guides are saying for validity of the reading.
Come Sept, all will be past us. Big ordeal mom side of family, Large amount of money, over land, everyone will be smiling
He saw its due to genetics is cause of infertility, my mom, he said don't fret it will happen.
Don't believe doctors it will happen. I confirmed yes my mother had a hard time too.
Ball rolling, like a global, it rolls grandma said. Something about pie slice of pie?
He said I've had a rough 3 years but everything will come to pass. Things will get better.
Walter mentioned the way the bed is when you walk in, at an angle?, in front there is a picture of grandma? Facing a weird direction or hidden?
I said there is a sewing cabinet of hers and a large picture of me that came from her house.
She wanted to let me know that she is there. Like she's attached to the item(?). Validity
Reading from Psychic Kennedy
4/3/2014
Kennedy said a change of doctors coming, get second opinion, don't let them tell you can't.
Surgery coming soon like laparoscopy?
Pregnancy in Oct 2015
Girl then boy, doesn't think it'll be twins but not sure
Def sees two kids
She says not to worry it will happen.
My two predictions, pretty similar,
I had two others but their readings where so general and full of BS, something I would give to someone as a overall answer that isn't quite an answer. Nothing like Walter and Kennedy! Both are the read deal, more Walter because he gives you key points to validate his accuracy.
I will defiantly speak with Walter again!

Cancelled FET
Today was my second ultrasound for the FET cycle. Another heart break. Well last week when I got looked at, my lining was at 6.9 mm and had a small amount of liquid in the uterus cavity.
I also had 3 cysts in my left ovary. I was told to increase my estradiol from 3 to 6 a day.
3 orally, 3 internally. That immediately cause a relation, feeling extremely dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous. It got worse and on some days I was okay. Well today was my follow up to last weeks results to see if the lining was better. I was excited! We had already decided to transfer 2 embryos.
Well during the ultrasound the specialist notices multiple cysts and masses. She ask if I was spotting or bleeding. I told her no, just discharging clear due to the high amounts of estrogen they have me on.
I also still had 3 cysts in my left ovary, less than 11mm and my right had 1 cyst. My lining overall with the masses inside is at 9mm not thick enough still for FET.
Dr. Ku reviewed the findings, and he came back very worried. He said they looked like cysts, he told me to stop all medications and inject 1 PIO. Nurse Jessica said she would do it there, I got iced up and injected. Didn't feel a thing but I am bruised and sore in that area. I also now have a knot.. Owe!
Once this false cycle begins, I'm to call Dr. Ku and schedule a uterine saline ultrasound. To see better of size and location of masses in 6-10 days from the cycle.
I'm dreading this cycle because they are extremely painful and I do have a high pain tolerance! But this brings me to my knees. Not even hydrocodine works!
Well after the ultrasound viewing, I get a hysteroscopy D&C done, this will be my 5th one. I'm put under every time. Except I like it better with Dr. Ku because there is recovery time instead of my Gyno, she just wakes me up from the table and I sit in a wheel chair until it's time to go. I'm usually left in pain and struggle to stay awake.
After that I wait for the results, either i continue with Dr. Ku or I go see the cancer doctor again.
The wait saga continues..

Decisions..
I'm trying to decide is I want to take a risk of begin a mom to twins or a singleton..
Do I want to take the risk or not.. I always thought and could see a future of twins. Ever since I was young. My husband is supportive but his fear is having more than two. Which could happen.. I'm in the cycle before the FET cycle, I'm pretty excited!
I have 16 babies frozen, life is such a miracle.. It's amazing how science can help women like me become mothers. I had 9 in perfect form, and 13 in decent condition, 7 out of the 13 where frozen.
With the OHSS, I have lost 20 lbs but I'm still swollen, I can't button up the jeans I could wear comfortably prior to IVF at the same weight I am right now. It's very frustrating.. I'd like to lose 10 lbs before FET, I knowing can do it, I'll be hitting up the store for fruits and veggies. No more junk food for now. I need to pump my body up with healthy food for my babies.
I had a rough time with the medications with Lupron, I had lost down to 227 from 232.
With OHSS I gained to 248, and very constipated! It was miserable..
Today I'm down to 228.
At the hospital my stomach was at 52", I haven checked but prior I was 38".
OHSS is very painful and it makes it hard to breathe or walk, I'm still not at 100% I can't stand up for long without my back hurting and feeling exhausted. I don't wish this on anyone..

OHSS
Well I went from having great news to being admitted to the hospital..
I had 27 eggs extracted from me, out of those 27 eggs 22 fertilized! Best news ever!!
I was so happy, my mom cried with the great news. This time they let them fertilize naturally without ICSI.
But OHSS ugly head reared itself.. This morning I was 235 and just two hours later after eating 2 toast, I was up 238. I called dr Ku and he wanted to see me immediately.
Drove to the clinic and he said I was going to be admitted, I was too high of a risk, plus I am in pain and I couldn't breath.
So far this place has been really good to be.. The nurses here are so sweet!
They had a hard time finding a good vein tho for the IV, the first time they bent the plastic needle in my arm, the second time, they wiggled the plastic needle and slapped my arm to wake up my vein.. Torture! But I survived it! IV is in place and the worst is over.
They have me on morphine and Percocet.. Good stuff!
Can't wait for Sunday for another update on my babies..

Day 1 post EC
Well yesterday they took out my eggs, I believe they aren't doing ICSI this time and letting nature take its course.. I'll get a phone call today with my babies status.
They said it was quite a bit they took out. My husbands specimen was looking really good too!
I'm hurting tho, OHSS is in full effect but not nearly as bad, I've gained about 5 lbs so far, anything more I will let dr Ku know..
I'll weigh myself a little later but I am starting to lose my breath when I walk. Not as bad as last time but it's getting worse.
My last few days were very uncomfortable. I'll see how I'm doing tomorrow before I call HR to take me out of work again for awhile.
I kinda don't want too but I feel like I need to especially with the changes happening again.
I don't think I could go back with how I'm feeling, this hurts pretty bad. Just to sit to go to the bathroom it hurts. If I keep gaining, I'll text dr Ku to see if I need to go to the hospital.
